Biography: (from the Beatleweek 2004 Programme)
The Beatvox are looking forward to playing at this year's convention in Liverpool for the first time since their dream came true in November 2002 when they played at The Cavern Club. The overwhelming reception at The Cavern Club has made the quartet eager to play at the famous week dedicated to their idols, The Beatles.
The Beatvox formed in October 2000, consisting of Naoki Sakamoto (John), Ryoichi Takeda (Paul), Kazuhiro Itoh (George) & Akira Ozawa (Ringo); all of whom had previously been in various other bands. The group enjoy playing a variety of Beatles music, especially the early rock and roll songs.
Most of The Beatvox's performances take place in Tokyo and Yokohama where they have many loyal followers. They have played at the Beatles Official Fan Club events in Japan, and at charity concerts. The Beatvox also perform in other major cities including Osaka and Nagoya. Some of these memorable performances include, sharing the same stage with Pete Best's Band in Japan 1995 and when The Beatvox played 'Dig a Pony' in front of George Martin in 1996. But of course the most memorable event of all is playing here in Liverpool at The Cavern Club in 2002.
